Chapter 167: The Siege of the White Horse

Speaking of Chun Yuqiong, this benevolent brother was also miserable. Chun Yuqiong was ordered to garrison the granary of Wuchao in history, according to the description, Chun Yuqiong, who guarded Wuchao, led more than 20,000 people and 5,000 Cao troops, but the real history is not a four-to-one force. "Zizhi Tongjian" contains: "In October, Shao repatriated the car and transported the valley, so that he would send more than 10,000 soldiers such as Chun Yuqiong. This also means that the ratio of Chun Yuqiong's forces to Cao Cao is two to one, not four to one. However, it is clear that the author's change is to increase the thrill of the plot.

And the historical Chun Yuqiong's performance in this battle was not a bag. According to "The Chronicles of Emperor Wu of the Three Kingdoms", although the sudden appearance of Cao Jun caused Chun Yuqiong to panic for a short time, he quickly stabilized his mood and personally went out of the camp to check the enemy's situation. When it was discovered that the Cao army was small in number, it immediately organized troops to launch a counterattack against the Cao army. This move also contained Cao Cao's offensive, and the battle situation fell into a stalemate for a while. At this time, Yuan Shao also learned of the attack on Wuchao and sent reinforcements to support, and Cao Cao fell into the danger of being attacked from both sides and even almost defeated.

According to the "Biography of Zhang He in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", after learning that Wuchao was attacked, Zhang He said to Yuan Shao: "Cao Gong's soldiers are fine, and he will break Qiong and so on." It can be seen that the 5,000 men and horses led by Cao Cao at that time were the elite of Cao's army, and they were probably the trump card of Cao's army - tiger and leopard cavalry. Although Chun Yuqiong's strength was twice that of Cao's army, it was not the elite of Yuan Shao's army, but only an ordinary army used to transport grain. Therefore, Zhang He will assert that Chun Yuqiong will be defeated.

And Chun Yuqiong, the guard of the black nest, is not an unknown junior. As early as the fifth year of Emperor Ling's Zhongping (188 AD), Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty formed an elite army in the capital Luoyang, called the "Xiyuan Army", and set up eight captains in the army, commonly known as "Xiyuan Eight Captains". At that time, Yuan Shaozhong was a military captain, Cao Cao served as a military captain, and Chun Yuqiong was the right captain, which shows Chun Yuqiong's status, and his qualifications are enough to be compared with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

Moreover, after Yuan Shao became the pastor of Jizhou, he appointed Chun Yuqiong as the commander of the first army and led the army alone. As for Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He and other famous generals, they are just generals under Chun Yuqiong. It can be seen that Chun Yuqiong's status is high, if Chun Yuqiong is not capable, Yuan Shao will never put him in that high position.

Even in this era that is different from history, Yuan Shao trusts Chun Yuqiong as he did in the original history, and the most critical place in this battle, it can even be said that he will hand over his lifeblood to Chun Yuqiong!

With Chun Yuqiong's ability, he can naturally see the importance of the Wuchao granary in this battle, so he is also grateful for Yuan Shao's trust.

Yuan Shao sent Wei Yuanjin, Han Juzi, Lu Weihuang, and Zhao Rong to assist Chun Yuqiong, and then sent Jiang Qi to replace Wen Chou to guard Baimajin, and ordered Wen Chou to attack Baimajin!

Liu Yan climbed to the top of the city and raised his eyes to look at the vast wilderness.

In the past two days, Yuan Shaojun has been very quiet, and the quietness makes Liu Yan a little panicked in his heart.

Generally speaking, it is unlikely that there will be any war at this time, after all, the Yuan army has just crossed the river, and it should take a rest, strengthen the camp and strengthen the defense, and even guard against the surprise attack of the Cao army, so everyone's mind may not be focused on this. But for the two sides who are about to fight a decisive battle, every time the opportunity arises, it may have extremely serious consequences.

In case the Yuan army really attacked directly without resting and reinforcing the camp, it would really not be easy to defend.

Liu Yan rubbed his temples and asked in a low voice to Baima County Cheng behind him, "The people in the city, can you complete the migration?" ”

"All of them have moved to Puyang City, and the city has prepared houses and food for the people, and now it should be about to enter the city."

To be honest, Liu Yan has been really sad these days. He was originally the Taishou of Jiyin County, but Cao Cao suddenly transferred him to Dongjun to serve as the Taishou, which made Liu Yan feel great pressure. Although they are both officials of 2,000 stones, the status of the East County Taishou and the Jiyin County Taishou in Cao Cao's heart at this time is completely different.

Dongjun is now on the front line of the war, and Cao Cao also values him, so he ordered him to serve as the Taishou of Dongjun. To tell the truth, Liu Yan is not a pure civilian official, he is also from a military background, his martial arts are also good, and his command ability is also good, so Cao Cao is relieved to hand over Dongjun to him. Of course, Cao Hong is the largest military commander in Dongjun, but in other aspects, Cao Hong must also fully consider his opinions.

In the past few days, Yuan's army has conquered Yanjindu and Baimajin one after another, and Baimajin is in the jurisdiction of Dongjun and is also within Liu Yan's scope of responsibility. Moreover, Dongjun is the forefront of Cao's army. Once the two sides went to war, Dongjun bore the brunt. Therefore, Liu Yan decided to move all the people of Baima County to Puyang. In this way, even if the two sides go to war, there will be enough buffer. Thinking of this, Liu Yan sighed again.

He did not rest for two consecutive days and arranged for the people of Baima to move east to Puyang City, this place is probably the battlefield where the Cao army and the Yuan army clashed for the first time. To be honest, he also had some worries in his heart.

"Taishou, it's not good!"

Just as Liu Yan was about to leave the city tower to rest for a while, he saw a scout stumbling up the city tower.

Yuan Jun 。。。。。。 Yuan Jun! ”

A chill rose from his waist and ran down his spine to the top of his head. Liu Yan shuddered, and hurriedly rushed up and grabbed the scout.

"What's wrong with Yuan Jun?"

"Yuan Jun, send troops!"

"What!"

Liu Yan only felt a buzzing sound in his head, and Venus appeared in front of him.

If you're really afraid of anything, you'll come. Yuan Jun actually sent troops? Don't plan to take a break?

"Can you see how many people there are?"

"About forty or fifty thousand people, coming this way!"

Liu Yan hurriedly ran to the arrow tower, and his head stretched out of the battlement to look down.

Damn, Liu Yan gritted his teeth, he really didn't calculate that Yuan Jun really dared to play like this, and he also sent forty or fifty thousand people to attack this White Horse City, he really looked up to him!

"Pass my orders! Close the gates! Assemble the Tuntian Army! Go to the city to defend against the enemy! Liu Yan roared, giving one order after another, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry.

Liu Yan's unhurried image appeared in the eyes of everyone, and he couldn't help but give them a reassurance, Taishou was so calm, he must have been prepared, and we don't need to panic. The defenders of the city carried out their duties in an orderly manner and were quickly ready to defend themselves against the enemy.
